We raked the leaves together,
You and /,
In the October weather,
And did vie
Each with the other,
AS sister. with a brother,
Who should rake them higher
Toward the sky.
Each fond was of the other.
Don't you knows
Our parents who neighbors,
Oft said so.
You often vowed devotion,
And Twas in the notion
To wed when grew older;
q. the woel
hear you are to marry,
Very soon
In fact the last of May,
Or is it Junef
And I. too, am debating
Whilst my adorers waiting,
My life from single discord
To attune.
Again it is October;
Come with me.
And from out this chaos
Let see
If we can bright leaves gather,
Stained, orient hues rather
'Frost-bitten" are tkeya Bid me
Let them be-
You say they unsightly,
Such nuss;
How can you speak so lightly!
Yes. to us,
Who care not to remember,
But cover up the ernber; -
Goodbye. mon cher, mon annie,
Parted thus!

If the June could guess
Before the sunbeam wooed her from the bud,
And Redeemed into life her faint young blood,
What blight should fall upon her loneliness,
What darkness of decay. what shroud of snow
Would the ever blowl
If the wild lark could feel,
When first between two worlds she caroled clear,
Voicing the ecstacy of either sphere,
What apathy of song should DER him steal.
What broken accents and what faltering wing
Would the lark ever singa
Alas. and yet alas,
For glory of existence that shall pass!
For pride of beauty and for strength of song
Yet were the urtried life deeper wrong.
Better single throb of being win
Than never to have BEEN

Born of loves INCONSISTENCY.
Those who love too mn ch forget.
Those who trust too much regret;
Moderation breeds wrong:

Whose affections burn fire
Till love d,eth with desire,
Lead me gently far away
In cool meadow paths to stray,
Where the robin lifts his song:

Love me long!

AT the edge of the village IVES a house,
In which resided a Mr.. Carter and his two
daughters. They had remained in the
house during the day, and their presence
had been respected by our troops. AS the
day passed, 1t seemed as If a battle would
not take place, 80 they thought there was
nc need to leave their home. When the
battle came 1t WIS so sudden they dared not
leave, and they took refuge IN the cellar.
The house proved to be in the very center
of the storm, and the battle ragged about
1t for hours. They afterward said that
while the horrid din lasted it seemed as if
they must die of terror if it did not cease;
but when there was a lull the suspense OF
fearful expectation seemed worse than the
din, and that 1t was almost a relief when
the battle was renewed. The long night
ended at last, and with the first light the
young women went out to minister to the
wounded, who were lying unattended all
about. AS they climbed the parapet at
the rear of the house, on their errand OF
mercy among the first they found was q
young Confederate staff officer, their own
brother, mortally wounded, lying, as he
had fallen Mt sunset, at the very threshold
of his home.-Chicago Herald.

1t up and published it for q fact, and to

S. E. Peal, writing from Assam, notices
a singular case of mimicry on the part of
u caterpillar, which, when suddenly sur
prlsed, erecfs its head in an attitude that
caused the writer to mistake it for a
shrew, probably the very animal that
preys upon 1t. The resemblance is caused
by two lateral prolongations and a pointed
tip To the head; these when lifted in the
peculiar attitude assumed simulate ears
and a long muzzle, while the mouth parts
in profile look like the mouth of n verte-
brate. The same writer states hat the
tiger causes the Sambur deer TO run to it

can tell from that Of a deer. The eye and
